Paredes: "We want to compete, find good feelings"

MADRID, 24 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The captain of the Spanish team, Irene Paredes, confessed that after a couple of weeks of "mini preseason" they are looking forward to "competing" and "finding good feelings" ahead of Euro 2022, starting with this Saturday's friendly against Australia in the New Colombino of Huelva.

"We're looking forward to it. We've been doing a mini preseason for two weeks, with the illusion that the games will come soon. With the desire to compete, to see the team, to find good feelings. The European Championship is here, so we have to get ready now "He said this Friday at a press conference.

The defense explained that the objective in the continental tournament is to reach the top, but they have to go "match by match". "The goal is to improve everything we've done so far. We're the first to win as a goal and a dream," he said.

"But we have our feet on the ground, knowing that we haven't done anything so far, that it's very difficult to get out of the group stage and we're focused on getting to the first game in good shape. Go game by game, find ourselves, do the game that we know and the first thing is to win the first game and get a good feeling", he added.

In addition, Paredes was asked about the gesture of the selection of wearing the rainbow bracelet. "I think it's something very important, much more than we think, it's something new, it's the first time it's been done, celebrating Pride month. Trying to normalize it to see if one day we get to that normal," she finished.
